mine sits flush.

anyway, my MM hit 20% over the weekend and we're taking a long drive to Niagara Falls this weekend. Picked up some Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 from Walmart. Drove to PepBoys and picked up a Mobil M1-110 Filter and recycled some old oil while i was there. Got home, and did my second DIY oil change. Fumoto valve was a breeze. Plugged in the hose to the nipple, open the switch and voila. I think next time I'll shorten the hose to two feet since the pressure is too low to push through 5 feet of hose.

Weird how I only got 5493 miles out of the previous Royal Purple, when I was getting close to 7-8k with conventional OEM honda oil. I hope the MM doesn't drop so fast with the PP.

I think Royal Purple is for performance, not longevity. I don't know why someone would waste the money on Royal Purple for a daily driven non-track car

AMS. I've been running AMS for most of the time I've had the car. Last oil change was six months, the one before that was 8-ish.

Cleaned the interior. The seats, the carpet, the floor mats, all the plastics, and the fabric on the doors. Tomorrow I might take the little green machine and clean even more. Considering the weather, though, I might wait until it cools off. 26C right now, tomorrow is supposed to be 27. Almost melted lugging that shop vac around.

Exterior is still filthy.

Installed a curt hitch and adjusted the back suspension. I would like to thank the person who took the time to put the suspension theory thread. I was completely lost before the read but now my car handles wonderfully.

I use Mobil 1 0w20. It's full synthetic, lasts 10-15k miles before you need to change it, and 5 quarts is like less than $25 at Walmart. It's the only thing I go to Walmart for.

Hah! nice man, I like the rims but they rub sometimes in the front due to the offset when I was on Tanabe DF210 springs, now I'm on Tein C/O so it's even lower so I'll be putting these rims and Tanabe DF210 springs up for sale sometime the end of this week. BTW do you have a close up pic of your retrofits and did you do them yourself? I'm having a hard time finding someone in Philly to do my retrofits, that's the one thing I really want done.

Changed the engine and mission fluids. Drove it home yesterday from Osaka and then up to Saitama to meet some friends last night. So put about 350 miles on the refresh and wanted to dump fluids. Will put another 1000km and change once again. Very smooth power delivery and engine is making about 140ps now, 128ps to the hubs. Gas mileage increased quite a bit, so over the next 15 years it will have paid for itself. hahaha, won't have it that long at least not in current form.

Forgot, also put the new J's Ti canister on as well. Some of y'all already saw these on IG.

I just bought Jackson Racing Plug & Play Honda to Denso Injector Connectors,

https://jacksonracing.com/shop/fuel-...or-connectors/



I hope it will arrived asap,...

I don't know when I will be able to use this as part of engine upgrade (Injector upgrade to RDX Injector) in the future...
but just want to have it now since this is not easy to find...

Yeah lol I'm probably gonna sell these rims soon also. I did the retrofit myself, using parts from amazon, for about $100. Haven't had a single issue in 8 months except for a little wiggle in the cutoff solenoid thing. If you go the DIY route, do yourself a favor and TAKE YOUR TIME because if you mess up or don't clean something well enough, it will be very obvious/annoying to you. Unfortunately I can't currently find the thread I used, but search around on the forum and you should find a DIY guide. In all honestly I think the retrofit is the best thing I've done to the fit so far. Very useful. I'm probably gonna end up re-doing mine (adding demon eyes and such) and cleaning up my previous mistakes (this is why you should do it right the first time). BTW I used Nilight Projectors, Zenex HIDs, and a Zenex relay harness.

It's hard to get an idea of what these look like from this picture, but in person they look 100x better.

Keep in mind Milano Red has no clearcoat. It will fade FAST. Just look at red integras still on the road. So keep it claybarred (every time b4 u wax), wash as often as possible, and waxed (every 6mo at least). It will stay red or if you dont, it will turn pink.
